The Deputy Governor of Krabi Province, Mr Tanwakom Kemasiri, officially opened the first Univanich national field day on 15th December 2007. In his opening speech Khun Tanwakom commented that this initiative to share the company’s research with Thailand’s oil palm farmers would encourage the efficient growth of the country’s expanding oil palm industry.

More than 1,000 oil palm growers from around southern Thailand attended the Univanich field day. Managers at five estate sites and at the OPRC presented information and answered farmer questions about planting techniques, irrigation requirements, nursery management, and about the importance of advanced oil palm breeding to achieve higher crop yields.

Univanich Palm Oil PCL has been a pioneer of the oil palm industry in Thailand since the company’s first plantations were established back in 1969. Today, Univanich is Thailand’s leading producer of crude palm oils and high quality oil palm seeds.
